Public Health England Launch Making Every Contact Count (MECC) Guidance and Practical Resources

Making Every Contact Count (MECC) is an approach to behaviour change that utilises day to day interactions that organisations and individuals have with other people to support them in making positive changes to their physical and mental health and wellbeing. MECC enables the opportunistic delivery of consistent and concise healthy lifestyle information and enables individuals to engage in conversations about their health at scale across organisations and populations.

For guidance and resources visit GOV.UK.

These practical resources will support people and organisations when considering or reviewing MECC activity and aid local implementation. They were developed by Public Health England (PHE), Health Education England and the national MECC advisory group.

The resources are for use by organisations that are:

• considering or reviewing MECC activity
• developing or commissioning new MECC training
• undertaking a review of existing MECC training resources
• developing and providing MECC training resources
